* I ordered this cake to prepare for my birthday. I'm huge on birthday cakes. I have to be honest...I was ready to be disappointed. I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised! The cake was VERY good prepared as per basic package instructions. (There are alternate instructions to add canned pineapple & nuts to the cake and butter and extra lc sweetener to the frosting. I always prepare a recipe as instructed first, and tweak it later - I am looking VERY forward to tweaking this one!!!) Even my children liked this cake! It will be even better with the changes. As an embarrassing, but important, side note - my dh bought donuts for breakfast on my b-day. I ate one that morning, then prepared the cake in the afternoon and ate a piece in the evening. You know how sometimes lc sweets taste less than sweet when compared to "main-stream" products? This was not the case with this cake. Dixie Diner's motto is "Health Food That Tastes Like Junk Food." For this particular cake, at least, it's true. I can't wait to try their other products. Thank you Dixie Diner and Netrition for this wonderful product!!!!

* Carb Counters Snackin' Cake Mix, Molten Chocolate Royale is SOOO good! The best chocolate cake I've had! I made them in 6 silicone muffin cups. They were very good hot and gooey from the oven but FANTASTIC the next day at room temp. They were not as gooey as when they were hot, but the texture and flavor was even better! The texture was very very moist and the flavor was deep rich REAL chocolate with no chemical or weird after taste.

* After trying a few of the other low carb products, I was worried that the Molten Chocolate Royale would be disappointing but was very pleasantly surprised. It tasted delicious and is a great way to satisfy a chocolate craving on a low carb diet especially if you are avoiding artificial sweeteners as well. (Be sure when you cook them to use cupcake liners and follow the cooking directions exactly - you don't want to scorch the chocolate or over bake the cakes).

* My husband and I LOVE these cakes. Our favorite is the yellow and then the chocolate. My only recommendation would be to watch the cooking time. We prefer to cook approx 5 less then recommended time to keep the cake moist as it tends to be dry if you cook as long as recipe calls for.

* This is the absolute best low carb desert I have ever found. I have given pieces of this cake to friends and they cannot believe it is low carb. The best thing about the chocolate cake with frosting is that the frosting is included and you don't have to order it separately. I make sure I always have at least one on my shelf. I like this one so much I am afraid to try the other ones because I don't think they will be as good.

* I had very low expectations. I am not a fan of most of the Dixie Diner products though I keep trying them for the kids sake. I am so happy I did!

I added 1/2 of a bakers unsweetened chocolate square to the chocolate in the package. Cooked the cake for 15 - 16 minutes and it was completely done. It appeared over cooked still. I thought it was a goner but iced it anyway and let the kids have it. They said how good it was so I tried it. It was AWESOME! Better than any other high carb cake mix. Won't beat homemade high carb but blows Betty Crocker out of the water. It was so moist!

I am going to get more for sure. I am not sure I will try any of the others because the chocolate is great. The icing is a bit too artificially sweet but that is hardly a bad thing as far as the kids go. I think I would prefer to try a homemade cream cheese icing but the kids do not like that.

* Too good to be true. Considering the extremely low net carbohydrates, I was expecting this to be just barely tolerable. To my surprise, my spouse and I both found the Snackin' Cake Mixes to be surprisingly good. We have reordered them and have tried different flavors.

A couple of notes: 1) do not overcook them - they get dried out easily and 2) if you can be patient enough, they are definitely better the second day.

* It doesn't even taste like it is diet! My 13 year old daughter had no idea that she was eating something healthy for her and she ate them up! She even shared them with friends at school! Outstanding reviews!

* I highly recommend this product. It was quite delicious -- significantly better than other low-carb cake mixes I have tried. Compared to real carrot cake, its texture was more homogeneous but not objectionable and it was, a little dry. The dryness was not significant enough to warrant complaint (from me, anyway) but definitely noticeable in contrast to how moist normal carrot cake generally is. As a simply delicious, low-carb dessert, however, it is first-rate.

* So far I've had only the Molten Chocolate Royale, but am looking forward to trying the others. I cut them in half and heap whipped heavy cream (w/almond extract and liquid sucralose) on each half. Tastes better than Hostess cupcakes. Very satisfying!

* The carrot cake is to die for. Everyone who has tried it has loved it. I just ordered a couple more (the holidays are coming!) and had to order one for a non-low carb friend. I make it and cut it into serving size pieces and freeze it. It freezes very well. I thaw it and microwave it for about 15 seconds before eating. Delicious and very filling. Carrot cake was always one of my favorites and I tearfully
kissed it goodbye when I went low carb but have welcomed it back with open arms since I first tried this one. If you like carrot cake don't pass this up. You won't be sorry.

* The Carrot Cake mix is fabulous. I made this for my low carb diet but my family also enjoyed it. After one day (the cake seems to moisten more with a delay) we continued to eat the cake until it was completely gone... everyone enjoyed this. There is a small texture difference between this cake and a "real" carrot cake but not much.

Make and enjoy! This is a fabulous (and welcome) addition to a low carbohydrate regimen.

* These Dixie Diner Snackin' Cakes are (as my dad would say) FANTABULOUS!!! They are so moist, quick to prepare, and it almost makes you feel guilty to have something so tasty, yet so low in calories and carbs. I've been a customer of Dixie Diner products for over a decade and have had great luck with probably 90% of their items. I highly recommend these if you have a sweet tooth and are looking for just the right thing with all the right stuff to help keep you on the right path health wise.

* I got the German Chocolate Cake Mix. What a pleasant surprise! The cake is very good - moist and tasty. I had to let the frosting sit for about 10 minutes before the consistency was right and the frosting is not the same as the full-sugar version. That being said, this is still an excellent low-carb dessert.

This review is specific to Carb Counters Snackin' Cake Mix, German Chocolate

* I wasn't sure what to expect because as a long-time low carber, this is my first time to try any of these Carb Counters Snackin' Cake mixes. It was surprisingly easy - not the consistency I expected and more like a brownie, but delicious. I made it for company who has been low carbing for just a few months and was she ever surprised how good it was and so low carb. I will definitely order other kinds to try!

* After not having any sort of cake, cookies, candy or anything sweet for months, I fixed the yellow snackin cake with frosting. If you miss cake, you're sure to love this! I added orange extract to the frosting to give it a flavor other than "sugar." I am just now ordering another kind, German Chocolate and am anxious to try it (I waited weeks before ordering one of the cakes again for fear I might eat the whole cake it was so good!). Try it, you'll like it!

* The carrot cake mix is very good for a low carb cake. I keep ordering it each month. Seems to have coconut in it, but does have a carrot cake flavor. This one seems better than the other Dixie cake mixes I have tried. None are really bad, but this one stands out as better.

* This was my first experience with Dixie Diner and I am completely sold! The carrot snack cake is absolutely delicious - even my husband fell in love with it and he's not a low carber. I'm going to keep my pantry stocked with this brand. Thanks Netrition!

* BOY! Are these yummy! You'd NEVER know it's good for you! How I wish regular grocery stores would carry these! They're easy to prep, put the mixture in an 8X8,bake & enjoy! We LOVE the Carrot the best, although the others are tasty as well. Try them. You will like them!

* Banana Nut Snackin Cake is just like the cakes with carbs and sugar, just a little bit more firm. I added about 1/3 cup of crushed nuts to iceing and W O W, it was wonderful and I could eat the whole cake and not felt bad... except my husband would have been mad.... We loved it and I ordered more today.
